<p><strong>Up till now, Mitt Romney's given the impression that his real goal was to be the Republican nominee for president, but that winning the election wasn't that important. Finally, that's starting to change.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Our economy needs to be reinvigorated, and the president has laid out his plan - it's a continuation of the old plan. We can't afford four more years of the last four years.</p>

<p><strong>It was a double whammy of gaffes for Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday, as he forgot what state he was in and trivialized slavery in a manner so egregious that the mainstreams are actually covering (without outrage, of course) his comments.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The attorney general of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli, has his own suit against ObamaCare pending. He explains the dispute before the Supremes, centered on the Commerce Clause of the constitution. There would be no challenge to the health care law, says Cuccinelli, if it had been funded with a tax instead of a mandate to purchase.</strong></p>
